News for Booksellers

Bookselling is more than selling merchandise; it is strategy and management, privacy issues and trade terms, promoting literacy and championing new authors, and much, much more. ABA is committed to bringing news to booksellers through its blog, its online forums, its wiki, this website, and though Bookselling This Week. BTW is free, web-based, and the primary news outlet of ABA. It provides breaking news, coverage of key industry events and trends, bookseller profiles, updates on ABA, and in-depth feature articles about all aspects of bookselling. BTW headlines also are disseminated via a free weekly e-mail.
